No-Bake Quinoa Oat Bars

April 08, 2015

Chewy, healthy, no-bake bars are great for breakfast or a light snack on the go. I've made them before without quinoa and different nuts but I really love the extra protein that the quinoa adds. The only prep work these require is cooking the quinoa separately and heating the peanut butter, coconut oil and honey. The freezer does the rest of the work!

1/3 Cup Pumpkin seeds
1/2 Cup Sliced almonds (I roughly chopped mine)
1 1/2 Cup Quinoa, cooked
2 Cups Old fashioned oats
1 t Cinnamon
2 T Flax seed powder
1/2 Cup Cranberries or raisins
1/3 Cup Chia seeds
1/3 Cup Hemp seeds
1/2 Cup Raw honey
1 Cup Peanut butter
1/4 Cup Coconut oil

Cook quinoa according to package directions, set aside to cool. Add honey, coconut oil and peanut butter to a pan Cook over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until melted and combined. Add all dry...
